Two youngsters finish seventh. They vow to come back and win. A year later they realize their dream. If this sounds like one of the stories you heard at the Olympics, it was a similar tale that played out at the Coimbatore edition of TCS IT Wiz as Adhithyan and Anto Felix, scripted a dream come true victory for themselves. In the process they earned the first ever victory at a TCS quiz for their school.

The final was a very close battle with four teams in the fray from the very beginning. Yuva Bharathi went into the lead early on only to be countered quickly by SBOA and St. Judes. GKD were just behind but in the hunt at this stage.

In the buzzer rounds, the distance started emerging and these four teams clearly got ahead of the rest. St. Judes missed a couple of questions by being too quick on the buzzer much like a false start in a sprint to lose precious ground. SBOA played very well to keep challenging Yuva Bharathi and GKD. A couple of rounds of caution from Yuva Bharathi and they lost the early advantage that they had.

The quiz moved into the final frontier with GKD in the lead and SBOA challenging them question on question. In the excitement the SBOA duo lost one or two chances and GKD cashed in on the same to clinch the title. In the final question, Yuva Bharathi came back strongly to pip SBOA to the runner up title.
